This project came about as a coping mechanism. As an Eagles fan, I've spent the past two weeks after the NFC Championship thinking about how accurate predictions are when it comes to NFL game odds. I wanted to visualize how often odds-makers are accurate—and to what extent. I was able to find nearly every game's odds going back to 1952 thanks to [Sports Odds History](https://www.sportsoddshistory.com/nfl-game-odds/), used Python and [BeautifulSoup](https://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/) to parse the HTML into [json'ed data](https://git.schaffz.in/gabi/NFLOddsVis/) (I'm working on mirroring to GitHub), and then [Observable D3](https://d3js.org/) to build the graphs.
A mobile/responsive version of this is in the works and I plan to work on this to add more contextual layers, labels, and clarity. I'd love to hear your feedback on it, so please reach out on [IG](https://www.instagram.com/gabi.schaffz.in/) or [Bluesky](https://bsky.app/profile/gabi.schaffz.in).
